look at the history of human creativity. From the Greek muses and
the invention of writing to the rise of generative artificial
intelligence, McTier explores how people create, innovate and tell
stories and what today’s “creativity crisis” might mean for the
future of art and originality. Recommended Reading: Mothers of
